adding more LR during cycle???

[goober_hunter]

my question is that ,,, iam in the middle of cycling and would adding more uncured liverock start my cycle over??? i really want to get my tank set up with liverock before adding the fish that i want,
could i add uncured liverock while having my fish in there or would it kill the fish???
i figure since iam about 2 weeks into my cycling, i should probably finish putting another 25 pounds of live rock in, if it will start the cycle over agian..
any advice would be helpfull,, thanks

Josh, add what you need now. Do not wait til you have fish because you are right; they will not survive. If it backs up your cycle a week or so no big deal. Add now is my vote. Barry

I'm fairly new to this SW thing but I think adding more lr now would be better. If you have to wait a few more weeks then that is better then killing all your fish later. I have been told MILLIONS of times to be patient so that is what I pass on.

I agree, put it in now and wait a bit longer. It will be worth it in the end.
